A nice hotel, clean and well-maintained. Great location, everything is close by. The rooms are spacious and automatically fall off, which is a huge plus for me. The rooms are comfortable, the only thing I would change is the blankets. We took a room with a view of the strait 🤗 The breakfasts are delicious. I recommend them.

Absolutely terrible hotel, avoid at all costs!!!!!! Nothing works in this hotel. The rooms are like boxes, it's appalling for this price and for a 4-star hotel in such a horrible state. The worst experience of my life. I hope this feedback helps improve your service.

I had accommodation 4 nights with a group of 46 pax. The rooms are good enough. Large lobby, 5 elevators. The stuff were nice and helpful. Unfortunately I have to mention that breakfast was very poor and not quality. For example they prepare the omlet with some powder. This does not look as omlet it look like food for aliens.....there are 1 sort cheese, 2 sorts salami. All of them no quality. The people here are rude they dont understand anything.

We stayed at the hotel from October 16th to 21st, 2024. It was a group tour, and we didn't choose this hotel ourselves. The hotel's location is good, centrally located, near the Grand Bazaar. It would be of interest to wholesale buyers, as the area is full of wholesale stores. All rooms at this non-AO hotel have Wi-Fi. We changed rooms... There was Wi-Fi on the 7th floor, where we stayed after the change. The rooms were in average condition. Many tourists in our group complained about broken plumbing, torn curtains, and terrible dirt. Breakfasts were monotonous, but quite edible. From the 8th floor, where they are served, there is a beautiful view of Istanbul. This hotel is only suitable for short-term stays, when you only come to your room for the night. The hotel has a spa and a pool, but we didn't use them... We didn't want to, as their technical condition and cleanliness left much to be desired.

Booked this hotel because I had a stop-over in Istanbul with the sole purpose of spending the day in the hotel using the facilities that are advertised like the pool, sauna, steam room, and the Turkish bath. It is advertised that all the facilities are free and the front desk staff told me so as well. After looking for the location of these facilities which were not that easy to find as in the elevator it says the health club is on the fifth floor but it isn’t actually, there are only rooms there. I found the facilities at the -1 floor. The facilities staff did not speak any English and was in fact on her phone when I entered the floor so I started exploring on my own. The laziness of this staff did not allow them to get up and kindly find me but when she ended her phone call she started shouting across the whole space as if signaling for me to come to her. AWFUL SERVICE. She used Google translate which isn’t always good and did not make any sense what she was translating so she made me stand there and read her translated nonsense. The facilities themselves were rundown and dirty. Turning on a low light will NOT hide the mess if that is what the hotel was hoping for. The pictures advertised for the facilities are MISLEADING. You must buy a swimming cap for 200 Lira to use the pool. What kind of century is this that guests must buy this sort of thing to use the “FREE” facilities. The sauna room was barely warm. The changing room had a dead roach and the shower was totally broken. Besides that in my personal room something was constantly leaking in the shower leaving a rusty puddle in the shower cabin. The fridge was not working even after I had to manually plug it into the wall after a day of traveling. Guests shouldn’t have to do any manual work in the room like construction workers 😂. Even drinking water was not provided. You are better off skipping this place all together. Don’t be fooled by the pretty pictures, the reality is nothing alike. The front desk man was not present behind the check in counter when I arrived, none of the staff wear any sort of uniform so it is hard to tell if you are being approached by a civilian or hotel staff, the front desk man asked me the same kind of questions MULTIPLE times like “are you staying alone” and “how many nights I’ll be staying”. Unprofessional.

I was in this hotel 4x already,so I can compare the level of the services. Ofortunately-the services are going down.The rooms were cleaned 1x only during the stay and not perfect.
The personel doesn´t speak foreign languages satisfactory(only ě exception at the reception), my 3 e-mails with the requsts regarding the kind of rooms were not answered.
Otherwise the location is perfect,the swiming pool also.

The biggest problem of this hotel is cleanliness and technical quality of rooms. It seems like the last major repair was made 20 years ago. WiFi is could be better. In bar you can only pay by cash

Hello, we came with my family to the hotel. This is the first time we are staying in such a low-hygienic and depreciated hotel. The rooms are under all criticism. The terraces are narrow and one can easily fall from them. The staff is made up of people with a low level of English, the pool is full of sand, hair, dirt. The sauna is also obscenely dirty and without electricity. The steam room is ok if the previous ones don't bother you. All Google and Booking reviews are 101% real

01.05.2024 Zina

Not a good place to stay. Small and warn-out rooms with no coffee cattle. Sink and shower was leaking, they fixed the sing the second day. Mostly russian and post USSR republics guests with their terrible eating habbits. 2.5km from Aya Sofia but the neighborhood is unpleasant, just cloath stores oriented on russians. No restaurants, cafes or even good groceries close by.

I went to this hotel in 2019 with family and i'm still bitter about it. THIS IS THE WORST HOTEL I HAVE EVER BEEN TO, MARK MY WORDS !

First of all, we got the "Model room" usually showcased as the best room by their standards, which was the worst room by my standards. Little did i know that the triple rooms (occupied by the fam) were even worse. The rooms were dirty, weren't close to what was portrayed in the pictures, cockroaches were roaming all around, everyday. It was a nightmare that i could never forget.
Shall we talk about the breakfast ? Yes the food wasn't various but above all it lacked hygiene. I got intoxicated because of their breakfast and had to stay at bed with my friends the cockroaches :)

Im not usually picky about hotels but here, the minimum required wasn't even provided. At this point, the good location didn't even matter cuz the hotel itself is trashy.

AVOID IT AT ALL COSTS.
